Anyone know about dowloading the digital card without Google Pay? I don't use it and have no intentions of using it or Magic Mobile. I';m sticking with my magic bands thankyouverymuch.

You can still download a picture of the temporary card on the DVC site. You’ll need to download a new one every month.

Ugh. Was really hoping they were going to extend this for our trip later this month!
Can't imagine paying for Space when it used to be so easy to get a fastpass. Hopefully wait times aren't too bad!

I can't imagine they are selling that many for Space Mountain and Expedition Everest. I know I've seen that Everest still usually has a pretty reasonable wait time.
